Disconnected the sound actuator.  What a difference!  I was never a fan and now I can have everything in sport without the pseudo sound.  Result.

I followed the advice on this thread: http://www.golfmk7.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4871

I unplugged the vertical plug.  A bit of a pain to fit my hands in the gap, but not too bad. Easy enough to reverse it too.

Might give that a go tonight, the sport noise is starting to get on my nerves!

Cheers, really simple and easy to do as well thanks to the recess they're in, you can literally run a stanley knife along to shape the tint film.

This is what I used;

It looks like you have rust on your back box, or is it just the dirt.
